What degenerate approved this script?

Rating: 4/10 (6 October 2013)

I did not get a chance to see this in theaters, but instead of downloading a TS version of this film, I waited for an HDRip because of all the hype.
I will admit the CGI was brilliant, well worth the wait. But that is literally the only good thing about this movie, except for maybe Charlie Day, who I felt played his role well. He was way more serious than his normal role of Charlie from It's Always Sunny, and I totally bought it.
The script is pure trash, Hollywood exec's continue to lower the bar for what can be turned into a movie. There were almost as many one-liners as in the latest Die Hard movie. In fact, there was one scene were someone tied 3 one-liners together! Besides the script being bad, there were too many illogical scenes throughout the movie. There's several fighting scenes where the robot picks up the alien and just tosses him into buildings when he could just shoot it with either the chest cannon thing, the plasma beam on its left arm, or stab it with the sword that appears from nowhere on it's right arm! These pointless scenes do nothing but pointlessly extend the movie time. Yes I was redundant there on purpose.
At the end of the movie, when the two escape pods surface on the ocean and the helicopters are coming to rescue them, there are like 20 helicopters flying in V for Victory formation and they do a flyover the 2 stranded pilots! None of the helicopters slow down or stop to rescue them!
I don't know if it's quite fair to say that the acting was bad in this movie, they don't really get to choose their lines! But I doubt any actors could've pulled any Oscar from this script, I swear an eighth grade boy wrote it and a tenth grade girl edited it.
